Tiger Airways (in OZ) Wannabes & Recruitment II
 

Continue Here

So whats the go with Tiger these days? Still via Altera?

Assuming with the limited flying program that there is still excess crew with many standby's....?

Still via Altara, big wait for GS 5 months between AD, I'm on the wait list, however anyone I've spoken with has spoken highly of their fellow staff so I'm holding on.

Looks like a whole heap of jobs to open up in BNE, which is where the base will no doubt be...

Wheels Down,

If you are talking about this advert it does say Melbourne:)

Hang in there
 

Yes they are still hiring via Altara, with the ability to promote into full time Altara followed by full time Tiger.
My hours since oct/nov have been very good, feb was a slow month but it is every year. New cabin crew get good hours though as they need to build up to get off their greens.
Hopefully tiger will have both a SYD and BNE base within the next 12 months. There is no garuntee as to which will be first.
To those of you waiting, hang in there, I'm current cabin crew for tiger and the opportunity to grow in the company will happen very fast for you if you love what you do and work hard.
There are GS's that have all been promoted to Full Time Altara (have to wait for EBA to be approved before we can transition to Tiger Full Time) within their first year and some are even now Act Ups (probationary Cabin Managers)again, from being with the company in that time.
But you must work hard, management do notice and do talk.
I have so far had a very cruisy ride at Tiger but I love what I do and I believe it shows in my work.
Hope this helps if you were having any doubts
Good luck :)

What makes me wonder, is they are advertising the above CC openings via their site rather than Altera, so maybe Tiger are taking over recruitment again like it was back in 2007/8

Altara will stay
 

I'm not 100% sure if tiger will be taking control for initial recruitment for the new bases but I know they won't get rid of Altara anytime soon. I'm sure Tiger will need full time TIGER crew for start up and a bunch of casuals but I think they will use MEL crew willing to relocate (be it permanent or temporary) then promote the casual crew at the new base to full time and so on. Can't be sure on anything really. For those of you in the industry I'm sure you'll already know (and for those who trying will learn very fast) that you can't believe everything you hear. I personally don't believe it untill it is ACTUALLY happening. 'galley FM' can be dangerous and be very careful what you repeat.
For those of you about to go into training let us know (we usually get an email when your finishing up and about to come online)
We also get emails when we are recruiting so I'll try and remember to post on here if I get one.
I'm sure there will be many AD to come and GS will be one after the other. I honestly don't think you'll have to wait too much longer

Fingers crossed! I have resigned from my job as of this coming Friday and have been lucky enough to have been relocated within the business on a temporary contract. It would be fantastic if they brought forward the May GS but I'm sure before we know if it will be just around the corner. Thanks for all the above info!

Looks like Tiger Wannabees will be able to get a Cabin Crew job in Sydney now. According to the news this morning they have launched there next base in Sydney, with an extra 10 flights a day though Sydney, basing 3 x A320 here

Frances, it has been stated by many creatable sources including the herald sun today that Tiger is expanding to a Sydney base.

The news only broke this morning.

Hey taroom, the best advise I can give is look professional and be friendly anything else you've heard forget it. Be yourself! And don't give up, I know of plenty of people that went to multiple interviews untill they got in with all airlines. I have a few friends that are about to train to do the requruitment, I think their training is the day before they see you so if I hear anything worth your knowledge I'll give you guys a heads up.
Don't forget, have fun on the day and make friends, exchange details with some that get thru, it helps to go in to training with a few friends already.
Good luck :D

So, there will be a ground school happening soon for those still waiting to be notified? So eager!!!!

Hey Pinkpetals I Havnt heard word of the next ground school, usually you guys hear about it before we do, I am surprised that they are making you wait though because we need new crew ASAP.
Taroom, I love working for tiger, the other crew really make your day sometimes. I have met some of the most amazing people online and hopefully friends for life. Also there are rumors about a BNE base in the next year so you might even get the chance to move closer to home (they might even bump you to full time faster if your willing to relocate)
The great thing about tiger is there is so much room to grow within the company with Singapore backing us and Australia needing us I'd say we're in for the long haul (pardon the terrible dad joke)

You are so positive and love reading what you write. Very inspiring for new starters. I flew Tiger twice and I have to admit, it was such a pleasure, great crew and friendly. J
Hopefully this training should start. Counting days and checking emails!!

Taroom
 

I second that! I am patiently waiting for that email advising about the next Ground School in Melbourne! xox

Syd base
 

Hi, I have an invite for TT based in SYD. Any suggestions, tips etc regarding their recruitment day... I am anticipating a full on day so I have booked the night before and the night of to stay in a motel close by.. Also does anyone know if TT has a location clause in their employment contract??? Concern especially with the prices of Sydney rents.. Please let me know..

Nervous but excited.

RSA
 

Sorry forgot to ask in previous post... Does your RSA expire??? I did one about 3 years ago will I need to do another before my recruitment day??

Cross_check
 

What do you mean by location clause exactly?
Your RSA should be ok. I know the QLD ones expire and VIC ones are forever( I think) but not 100% about the NSW. Just call the company you did yours with and ask.
I didn't have my CPR or first aid on my AD and I still got in.
Try not to stress yourself out too much, be yourself and try to enjoy the day. I never thought I had a chance when I went to mine so I breezed through. But now when I go for internal interviews for stuff im a nervous wreck and don't think I go so well (lucky they know me enough to realize I'm just nervous)

Also small note, I spoke to a few of the cabin crew that did the last SYD AD and they were amazed by the talent. Apparently they only turned away 2-4 people and that was mainly because they didn't have essential stuff (eg. A drivers license)

Thank you
 

to all that have provided me advice to help calm the nerves I appreciate and give you a huge thank you. Looking forward to the day and have been a bit excited to the point I have not slept well... I hope to share the skies with you soon.. and again a Huge thank you.. LOL Coffee on me
